 What is the best way to clean vinly windows?  The windows on my 2000 Coleman Mesa seem to be yellowing.  Is there a cleaner to remove the yellowing?  Has any one replaced the vinyl windows?  If so what method and where did you get the replacement material.

 AlaTexUse [link=http://www.marinestore.com/plexus.html?cart=311258611752399]Plexus[/link], it s the best thing for vinyl windows that I could find.  It s been recommended by several others on the old PUT site.
 
 Did a great job cleaning up our windows.   However, mine weren t yellowed, so you may get different results.

 AlaTexI use Lemon Pledge.  It takes a little elbow grease, but it s cheap and readily available.  It does a good job with fingerprints, dust, etc.

 AlaTexYep, I ll second the motion for Plexus. Best stuff I ve ever seen for vinyl windows. Not only cleans the plastic, but revitalizes it as well (do I sound like a hair commercial, or what?[;)] )
 
 It s one of those items Dave REALLY needs to carry in the PUT store, like " 303 Aerospace"  protectant for the tires and BAL levelers. I m gunna bite the bullit this spring and get a BAL leveler, it d be neat to support this site while doing so. Maybe some details can be worked out somewhere.
 
 Hint, hint....

 AlaTexOn the old board some people said Pledge wasn t good for the windows.[:o]

 AlaTexWhere may " Plexus"  be obtained?  What is cost?

 AlaTexhttp://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/plexus.html
 
 This seems to be the site where we can order.  I am sure it is available somewhere else too.

AlaTex

 AlaTexThanks popupcop, however it seems you must order a minimum of 12 cans from the manufacture.
 
 I agree, it would be great if Pop Up Times Store could offer the " Plexus"  cleaner and the ?303"   - I have found the ?303"  at marine stores though.

 AlaTexIf Dave put it in the store, I would buy a can.

 AlaTexWest Marine sells Plexus vinyl cleaner by the single can.

 Get the big can so you don t have to worry about running out. Our Bayside uses up a good portion of the can, but it has a 12"  box (but no windows on the bunks, just screen and canvas) A trailer with a shorter box will use less, but if you have vinyl windows on the bunks and slide-out side walls, as well as the box, get a couple cans.
 
 Yeah, it ain t cheap, but this stuff really works! Kinda like a Prodigy brake controller.... once you use it, you ll never go back to what you had before. And I would pay a little more to get Plexus through this site, just to help support PUT.

 AlaTexI did a search for it on Yahoo.  There were several places that had it.  I am going to email Dave before I buy it else ware.[:)]

wssfetch

 AlaTexI ve been using Murphy s Oil Soap on the vinyl windows. But if Dave stocked Plexus, I d try it!

 AlaTexOne more option. Mopar makes a product for the vinyl windows of a Jeep Wrangler. It does a good job either taking out or masking (never figured out which) the scratches in their softtop windows.
 
 Might be more readily available to some folks.

 AlaTexDave is looking for a place to buy Plexus with out having to buy many cases.  So hold on and you should be able to get it here.[:)]
